Princeton University Concerts present: Book Group: “Beethoven’s Hair” by Russell Martin

As the world commemorates the bicentennial of Ludwig van Beethoven’s death, join us to read Russell Martin’s Beethoven’s Hair, a fascinating exploration of the composer’s life, legacy, and the enduring mysteries that continue to surround him. From his extraordinary musical achievements to the story behind a lock of his hair that sparked decades of scientific and historical investigation, the book offers a fresh perspective on one of history’s most influential artists. This book group, hosted by the Princeton Public Library, also serves to introduce Princeton University Concerts’ upcoming all-Beethoven performances by the Ébène String Quartet (March 31) and by violinist Hilary Hahn, cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, and pianist Benjamin Grosvenor (April 26). Copies of the book are available via the Princeton Public Library.
